'Clipboard' is jargon for the invisible place where data lives between the user ordering a 'Copy' or 'Cut' and ordering 'Paste' (through a menu selection or by using Ctrl-C/Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V keys of the keyboard). So I don't expect you did anything wrong there. The special thing here is that normally you load the clipboard by first selecting a visible text, and then 'copy' it. While the mentioned menu items of the browser do put the URL specifyng the location of the clicked image there, rather than the image itself. <p> You should see the URL (starting with "http://") appearing in your text when you 'Paste'. <p> What is most likely the problem is that an URL in the text of your submission is not enough to make an image appear; it would just display the URL as text. To get an image on a submitted page you would have to write <p> < img src="URL"> <p> in it, with URL the pasted URL.
